Venice,
Florida, a city that lures not only tourists and new residents but
urban planners, who come to see the results of the much revered
original 1920s plan by John Nolen, one of the nation’s first urban

the landscape architect who designed New York’s Central Park, about
features that make cities “livable.” Venice Gardens is a
